The Passion According to G.H.B.
5.2
As rain falls in São Paulo, in an unassuming apartment building a random Grindr hookup is multiplying into a frenzied orgy. Over the course of a day and into the night, Matias and his new lovers connect over fucking, a cornucopia of drugs, and classic literature. Matias confides in his companions about his life — his HIV status, his old lovers, his relationship with drugs — while he ponders what the future holds in a fast-changing, post-pandemic world. In his heightened state, Matias is visited by the apparition of G.H., the titular figure from Clarice Lispector‘s landmark novel The Passion According to G.H.
